American Romeldale/CVM SheepConsidered critically endangered by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. A soft fine wool perfect for hand spinners and other fiber artists. The Sheep are kept coated as much as possible to keep vegetable matter out of the fleece and thus more appealing to hand spinners and ease of processing.

Pygora GoatsOur PBA registered stock come from Hawks Mountain Ranch in Gaston, Oregon. All produce gorgeous fleeces and have excellent confirmation. We also have some outstanding unregistered pygora that produce equally gorgeous fleeces!

LlamaWe have two majestic llamas to contribute fiber and act as guardians to the sheep and goats. Magical Melody and Lola.

I am holding CT's Kivalina, my newest IAGARB registered doe.She was tested on November 6, 2010 under IAGARG standards with a wool weight of 522 grams over a 90 day period and gross annual wool weight of 2088 grams!

Here I am with Raspberry Farm's Gabriel. She is another newly IAGARB registered doe. Also tested on November 6, 2010, she tested with a wool weight of 450 grams over a 90 day period and gross annual weight of 1800 grams.

My objective is to consistently use breeding stock that is registered and produce animals that meet the IAGARB standard of perfection.

As an IAGARB member, one benefit is to participate in co-op mill runs. As a group, we produce two types of luxurious yarn. The wool comes from small farms (IAGARB members) all over North America and processed at Zeillinger Wool in Michigan, USA...yes, an American made product!IAGARB Frost is a three ply sock yarn with a blend of 50% angora, 30% nylon, and 20% superwash merino.IAGARB Blizzard is a two ply yarn with a blend of 85% angora and 15% domestic merino.

Both yarns are a heavy fingering weight in skeins weighing approximately 2 ounces and are approximately 200 yards. It will knit in gauges from 4-8 stitches per inch. As you knit, the yarn will bloom. The IAGARB Frost may be machine washed but it is recommended that both IAGARB Frost and IAGARB Blizzard be hand washed
